C ONSIDER DYNAMICS REGARDING YOUTH TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Local government is equally called upon for its response to the demand for caring and developing young people To understand population dynamics regarding youth trends in your area you need to build a profile of young people that will inform planners on the size Demographic tool for building a population profile is the population age pyramid This will provide insight into the dynamics of youth profile to the effect that more informed decisions regarding the future development. If your population structure indicates that your area has more youth, the benefit to be gained from that demographic fact is called demographic dividend 17

M ONITOR POPULATION GROWTH (C HANGE ) AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT TRENDS TO INFORM DEVELOPMENT PLANNING (P OPULATION, D EVELOPMENT E NVIRONMENT N EXUS ) Consideration of people dynamics that are changing over time namely: Migration, Fertility and Mortality(Population) Population has size, composition and structure that are changing over time Municipalities need to plan for services of the changing population(Development activities) Consideration of land, water, air (Environment) 18 POPULATION NEXUS DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

20. I MPORTANT Q UESTIONS FOR I NTEGRATION OF G ENDER I SSUES INTO IDP  Is there some evidence of how women were consulted in developing the integrated development plan?  How many women and men will benefit from strategies developed by municipalities? Do strategies have any negative or harmful effects on women or men?  Does the IDP use the concept of gender accurately and sensitively? For instance male and female  Is there any reference throughout the plan to the difference as well as similarities, in terms of interests, concerns and needs of woman and men, and an indication that these will be addressed?  Is there any acknowledgement of international and national instruments on gender?  Does the plan make provision for adequate resources to be allocated to implement the programmes so that needs of women and men are appropriately and effectively met?
